Because our infrastructure and economy are designed around the automobile, many people simply don't feel the need for a train like that, so they haven't demanded it and one doesn't exist. Too bad because it makes so much sense in the U.S. because of the size of the country.

If it was built, and cheaper to run, people would use it. Boston-NY-D.C ? People would line up in droves to ride it!

We have The Acela Express but it's too expensive. Even regular Amtrak is expensive so I just take New Jersey Transit when I come to New York.
The hybrid bullet train is extremely fuel efficient, which would cut down the travel cost a lot.

Is that what The Acela is?
I don't know whether the Acela is diesel or not.. but it's definitely not hybrid.

That almost looks like a drawing. Is it a real photograph?
